You Must Take Part in Revolution is penned by Melissa Chan, an Emmy-nominated foreign correspondent with bases in Los Angeles and Berlin. The illustrations are crafted by Badiucao, an activist artist known as "China's Banksy." This project marks the comic book debut for both creators, adding to the excitement surrounding its release.
Here is the official synopsis of the book:
From Emmy-nominated journalist Melissa Chan and acclaimed activist artist Badiucao comes a gripping near-future dystopian graphic novel about technology, authoritarian government, and the fight for freedom.
Set in 2035, the US and China are embroiled in war, with America teetering on the edge of fascism and Taiwan split in two. Amidst escalating nuclear tensions, three young idealists—Andy, Maggie, and Olivia—who first connected in Hong Kong, find themselves at a crossroads. Each takes a unique path toward transformative change, confronting the personal and collective costs of resistance in a techno-authoritarian world.
A poignant and essential read that explores the future of global totalitarianism and the price of standing against it.
You Must Take Part in Revolution is scheduled for release on March 4, 2025. Secure your copy by preordering on Amazon.
